Promote your blog I was browsing around MyBlogLog and noticed that John TP had his url stated as http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.johntp.com. My first thought that came to my mind was ‘Sneaky!’ but then i quickly remembered how much i hate Alexa. Alexa ranks have always been hugely unreliable from the very start of its existence and i still hold that opinion. I now think that this is a great idea. Im not one for encouraging people to manipulate ...

Continue readingI Hate Link Trains
Promote your blog …..and all those spammish link train derivatives. Take the ‘U Comment, I Follow’ campaign for example. If you read my article a few days ago entitled ‘Do you want to remove the ‘No Follow’ tag from your WordPress Blog?‘, you will know that i am not a 100% devotee.

Save to remind – If I think of something to blog about but im too tired or too busy too write I simply write the title of the article and a detail or ...
